Pleasantly surprised that our pack dominated given the strength on paper of theirs. Great effort.

2 points is what we needed, as a win is a win & you take any when you're in the position we are, still no completing sets but both sides dropped plenty of ball tonight, well done FC, #COYH.

Still lack cohesion and attacking flair but it was great to see that enthusiasm and commitment in defence.
A good win, an actual enjoyable game, where's that sort of passion been all season ?
Thought Horne played well and took the line on.

Enjoyed the game great to see our pack get on top of the opposition. I genuinely thought they'd have done that more often this year. Well done to all good game.

Strangely impressive that Saints somehow managed to find a worse halfback combination and kicking game than we've had this season.

Well it's not like we had a choice in the matter. Our 1,6&7 all out with long term injuries.

By the sounds of if our pack was cack again so that probably didn't matter.

Similar to the cas game IMO. Plenty of effort and defence good on the whole but saints didn't have the individual class that cas did last week. Still some major issues with our attacking play which won't all be resolved with new halfs but a win we desperately needed.

Thought horne's short kicking game was something we've desperately missed in recent weeks and our last tackle plays were much better and we built pressure more effectively which ultimately won it for us

I will take a positive from that then. Good job that individual class that single handed got Cas back into the game is joining us next season then.

Feel free. Glad to be of some help in your hour of need

For the first 10 minutes I feared the worst but we dug in and gradually turned the game. The forwards were immense and the defence was excellent. As the end approached I was strangely confident we would hang on. It was great to go to the KC and enjoy the game for a change.
